    #TeamParkinsons Paul (@PJacksonClark) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I've covered all the options; there aren't many. It tells me there are no problems in my area and then defaults to the bot chat.

    @virginmedia this is getting ridiculous now! What’s happening with your service again today!!! Trying to watch on @BBCiPlayer and it buffers every 30 seconds!! Can’t watch anything and accessing websites including your own is so painful #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • educationforum
    Andy Walker (@educationforum) reported from Worcester Park, England

    @virginmedia Your customers pay enough to expect 24 hour support. Do better.

    Really losing my patience with Virgin media now. Down for 8 days been told 3 times it’ll be fixed within 24 hours but won’t send an engineer out

    Virgin media is down and I actually have to talk to my family… yuck.

  • ranaraptor
    Rana Rahman (@ranaraptor) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia My so called ‘ultrafast, reliable fibre-optic broadband’ has been down all day (!). Unacceptable 😡

  • declan1968
    Declan Higgins ☘ (@declan1968) reported from Southwark, England

    @virginmedia What does an area outage mean? I pay Virgin about £150 a month for services. This is over the odds but I thought I was getting a reliable service and so went with it.

    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Guys it seems to me @virginmedia is the only one that has problems? My neighbour who uses “talk talk” has never ever had a problem.. I am tired of @virginmedia excuses and I will leave, had enough of it thou..

  • MiaZagica
    Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

  • wowbaggerish
    (An)TonyM 🇺🇦 (@wowbaggerish) reported from Epsom and Ewell District, England

    @virginmedia @gosportjack75 Yes. Please ensure you do. It's appalling customer service.

  • timhyson
    Tim Hyson (@timhyson) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.

  • Nigelellway
    Nigel Ellway (@Nigelellway) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband or phone, your online checker doesn't work and neither does your helpline. What's going on?

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • imbranzo
    Mamba 〽️🦋 (@imbranzo) reported from Bromley, England

    holy **** @virginmedia fix up mannnn how you disconnecting when I’m in a ranked match on @PlayOverwatch ???

  • Boubs1985
    Kerry Vaughan (@Boubs1985) reported from Addington, England

    Aint it funny how my Internet was good as gold until @virginmedia tried to convince me to upgrade. Now its absolutely terrible 🙄

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia another night not being able to use the platforms I pay for due to crappy service from yourselves

  • Champs707007
    Stephen Champion (@Champs707007) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia It’s been erratic all day on both connections and your service check says no issues identified. One minute it’s doing 40-60mbps then it’s just plain dead but shows a connection

  • Champion3Claire
    Claire Champion (@Champion3Claire) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I think you will have to agree this is an unacceptably long time for the repair as it’s already been going on for days?? “There's a TV issue in xxx. Thanks for your patience while we work to fix things as quick as we can. We hope to fix this by 14 March at 16:00”

  • willjennings80

    Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported

    @virginmedia happily giving new customers FREE #Netflix but happy to lose a customer of 26 years to #Sky because they won't give it to a long-standing customer who has given them thousands of pounds over 26 years. Make it make sense.

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @virginmedia we are so done with you when our contract ends, barely a month goes by with outages and reliability issues! £73 a month you would expect top speeds and super reliability. Sadly not.

  • PeteMcManus
    Pete McManus (@PeteMcManus) reported

    If you’re a local business looking for new broadband whatever you do don’t use @vmbusiness Absolutely useless company, terrible customer service. My wife was given the wrong info when signing up, costing us money and they’ve so far spent 7 weeks investigating it to no avail!

  • Tea_lover99
    Sammy (@Tea_lover99) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They once set me a virgin box that we had never asked for. Then a year later they tried to charge me for it when I closed the account. Never paid (gave it to a friend).
